Foreword by Kai Hibbard, the 3rd season runner-up contestant on NBC's The Biggest Loser who is now publicly speaking about the dangerous and unrealistic weight loss tactics and messages disseminated by the show.
Reviews
Pearl comes clean with her own experiences. She helps you face the truth about what losing weight really means. She is daringly truthful, funny, and eloquent. Her credentials are unparalleled, but more importantly she brings great ideas and methodology to her work. Her “ten Pearl principles” are concise, and they don’t need to convince you...they will really work. Eating all the time, and sticking to staples that you repeat every day, does take the chance out of the choices we are faced with. Exercise is another critical factor in successfully becoming fit. She addresses it straight on and shows you ways to have fun with it. She gives you five reasons that you won’t argue with!
She cleverly fractures dieting myths through fairy tale stories that are memorable and stay with you. “America needs to experience a major paradigm shift now.”
Michelle Pearl couldn’t speak more truth. The media hype and economic gain for companies to portray beauty as someone who is thin, or to portray perfection as one who is thin is blown by her mass media myths. Fast weight loss…probably not gonna happen. I liked her reality check.

She reminds readers that pills and unbelievable claims… should be treated as just that…unbelievable! Get over it and get to work.
Focus on the possible! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It gave me new creative ideas to help myself and my patients. Uplifting!
I received a complimentary review copy.
